Villa striker Emile Heskey retires...

[Pete3206]

One of the worst Villa players of all time.

His selection for England at the 2002 World Cup baffled me, let alone the 2010 shambles.

Hopeless. Go now.

Your all fools, he's now got time to write his autobiography, He will have at least 76mins most sats while on the bench

This is surely wrong way round. Emile should retire from Club football to concentrate on his International career.

[wombat]

bizarre to retire now.... especially when he retired from goal scoring so many years ago.

I've never known a Villa player held with such contempt by Villa fans, especially one that has given nothing less than 100%. It's horrible and reading the same old jokes gets a bit boring.

He's not good enough for us, we know this. He's certainly not the worst player to play for us. Saying that he is, is absolutely ridiculous. Have you only been watching us for 2 years?

I might got and read some Martyn Smith posts in the jokes thread.

[TheSandman]

Absolutely. 100% agree.

It has got so tedious I want him to leave just so I don't have to put up with reading some of this same old shit on here.

People referring to him as a 'sack of shit' and the like. He's not particularly good at football but to call him that seems to be more aimed at his character which is a bit odd considering the people in question have never met him to know if he's a sack of shit or not. Shit at football yes. That kind of thing is uncalled for.

Have Brian Deane and David Nugent retired from International football yet?

Let's just remember he was not the worst ever striker to play for England, he has never been great, but the piss taking is a bit out of context.

I feel sorry for the guy as he has always given 100%, just never been good enough.

[Pete3206]

Bless him, he tries hard.

I don't feel sorry for him at all. He has earned fabulous wages for years for being mostly rubbish.

What on earth do you expect from an Emile Heskey thread?  He's been an absolutely appalling signing, and if reading it about it upsets your sensibilities, just avoid the thread, it really is that simple.

Thanks for the advice, continue with the good work.

I'll tell you what I don't expect, hatred. It's pathetic.

Well at least this is slightly less full of rubbish than your last post.

Good one. One day I'll come to realise how you were ever offered position of moderator on this site. Surely being an antagonist wasn't in the job description?

[Risso]

Where's the hatred of which you speak anyway?  A lot of people think he's a shit footballer, so what?  I can't see anybody tearing into him as a bloke.  I don't suppose he loses any sleep over the fact that people on the internet think he's shit while he earns his £3m a year, so I'm not sure why you're being such a big kid about it.

Absolutely. 100% agree.

I want him to leave because I'm sick of hearing the same tired old shite directed at him when he's playing/about to come on.
